It is a beautiful maple piece and maple doesn’t soak all that much. If you can run it through a sander to remove the surface, that might be a good option. Otherwise, use a scraper to remove a 1/32” from the top and if the scars are still visible, use some bleach and water to soak it down. The grain will be raised which means you have to sand it up to 220 before refinishing it, but it is worth it. Give it enough time to dry before sanding it. Finish it off with soaking with hot oil for several days. Pour the hot oil over it and wipe it off after 30 minutes to 1/2 hour and repeat a few times.
